Character Profiles - Gadgets - Robin Suit

Tim Drake's original costume was slightly different from that of Grayson and Todd as supplied by Batman to give him a measure of increased protection. He wears an armored tunic, a cape that is black on the outside though still yellow on the inside, and green leggings. Other details include an armored gorget, better footwear than either of the previous Robins, an emergency "R" shuriken on his chest in addition to the traditional batarangs, a collapseable bo staff as primary weapon, and generally more strongly Robin-flavored equipment.
After the events of the Infinite Crisis and the One Year time jump in the DC Universe, Robin updated his costume slightly. These updates include long sleeves, the elimination of the green from the suit and the addition of scallops to his gloves and cape, including a more Batman-like utility belt. The scallops on the cape give more of an illusion of feathers than bat-wings, as seen on the cape of the Dark Knight. Also the stylized "R" on Robin's chest has been replaced with a more traditional one that may vary from artist to artist.
